Developers Spend Money Against Santa Monica Measure D

Developers and their City Hall allies have been after the 227 acres of Santa Monica airport land for years. Campaign disclosure reports filed recently by Measure LC proponents — the politicians’ effort to confuse the voters — prove it.Big money has started to roll in; $10,000 from Jeff Worthe — president of Worthe Real Estate Group — is the biggest yet, about half of what’s been reported.

It’s easy to see why Worthe Real Estate dislikes the airport. Building-height restrictions for miles around the airport, allthe way to the beach, protect the City from high-rise development. Close the airport … and these building limits go away.
